What do you believe?

Do believe that conditions in the world are getting worse and worse? Do you believe evil is overwhelming good and God and His plan are in danger? Some Christians do. They may not admit it but if you hear them talk, you can tell they believe these things. Psalms 2 tells us how God responds to the efforts of the evil. Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: The Lord shall have them in derision…. God’s not a little worried. Please don’t be worried yourself.

Our society says that Christianity would be all right if we didn’t make exclusive claims and admit there are other religions that are just as good as getting people to God. But in John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: and no man cometh to the father but by me. Do we believe our culture or Jesus’ own claim?

What do we believe? Who do we believe? If it is not Jesus and His words, are we really followers of Him?

An apology

I had intended to get a post out every Friday or Saturday. I have been unable to do that every week. My apologies that some posts are a day or two late.

Let us enjoy looking again at some of God’s creation. God Bless you all.

The sun rises over the clouds in front of the summit of Haleakala volcano in Haleakala National Park on Hawaii’s island of Maui, Sunday, Jan. 22, 2017. Park officials say the sunrise on Haleakala attracts over a thousand people a day, resulting in an overload of visitors and creating a safety hazard. As a result, anyone wanting to see the sunrise on the summit will now be required to make reservations in advance and pay a small fee. (AP Photo/Caleb Jones) ORG XMIT: NY301
